Take a walk down our path of 30 months of designing, planning and building. See how the Adirondack Labyrinth was born.
By May 7, the 11 circuits were completed! Now we turn to laying over 3,000 divider rocks, the lunations on the outer rim, laying sod, and hardscaping the finishing touches.
After a long winter, the labyrinth build was rekindled by a group of 12 men coming from across the Eastern Coast to inject energy and heaving lifting (literally) into the completion process!
Almost 20 volunteers in all came from Philosophers Camp and Legacy Labyrinth Project to help birth this amazing labyrinth in the hottest week of the summer from July 15-22.
As soon as the ground thawed enough, Larry used our heavy equipment to begin creating the base which needs time and wind and rain to settle. Next comes the truckloads of stone base!
The idea for building a labyrinth came in Winter 2020 when Christine met the creator of Mary's Labyrinth​ in Saskatchewan. Instantly, she knew that this land was to be home to another sacred walking tool. The Adirondack Labyrinth will join Mary's Labyrinth as one of 7 labyrinths in the world dedicated to global peace and healing. July, 20 volunteers are coming from all over the United States to do the actual build. Many hands and hearts and sweat and some tears will make this a reality.
With 100 mountainous acres, we found the perfect spot for our 65-foot wide labyrinth: in between our two beaver ponds and cut into a hillside! Larry used his amazing vision and gift as "gardener of the land" to visualize this over the fall and winter of 2022.
